I used neodymium earth magnets  :wink:

3mm on the plate and 6mm ones behind the grill.  :happy2:

^^^^ nice!

 Magnets seem bloody strong matey. Did you buy the plate that size or cut it down?  :happy2:

I cut it down myself Martin. I just used the electric chop/mitre saw. Made a nice job of the bevel  :happy2:



…..posted the video on my iPhone, but now I'm on the Macbook Air I can't see the video.  :confused:

Can everyone else see the video???

Carlo what did you use to stick the magnets on?

Also what what width magnets did you use? 12/18mm?

And have you stuck some felt like cloth on the back of the plate?

Today I had a nice drive to and from the airport for my daughter to fly to Italy for a week. I would have loved to have driven her all the way as I did a couple of years ago but she's only there for a week.

Nice day for a drive: Very bright and sunny, so good visibility. And chilled air temperatures, so turbo very happy.

Thanks for all the great comments Everyone  :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:
All the inspiration has come from this forum in one way or another.  :notworthy:

When I first got the Ed30 I was very naive about car care, and I even remember telling people that all I planned to do mod wise was lower it.  :ashamed:

After seeing some amazing cars, it didn't take long before the modding bug set in.

I REALLY wish I'd have started a build thread years ago.  :sad1:

Anyway.....

Poundland is your friend when doing this mod, I can tell you  :happy2:

All these items were...guess what??? Yep £1 each  :jumpmove:



I used the Araldite Epoxy to stick the magnets to the plate and the back of the grill.





All the magnets were 18mm wide  :happy2:


The felt I used was the white self adhesive felt that comes in the Poundland pack of Surface Protector Pads  :wink:
